Imaging and Healthcare IT
Diagnostic imaging narrows the possible causes for an injury or illness and determines its extent. Diagnostic imaging can also be used proactively as a screening tool, in breast cancer mammograms, for instance. As a result of the emphasis modern medicine places upon early detection and minimally invasive procedures, the use of diagnostic imaging will continue to increase. Millennium Research Group's coverage of
diagnostic imaging system markets includes CT, MRI, X-ray, Ultrasound, SPECT, and PET/CT scanners. Reports on diagnostic imaging provide comprehensive coverage of diagnostic systems modalities for various global markets, and other accessory devices and consumables.
Healthcare information technology (IT) describes the use of information technology to improve the efficiency, quality, and profitability of health care delivery. The promise of healthcare IT is that it will improve the quality of delivered care, reduce costs, and prevent avoidable medical errors.
Healthcare IT solutions covered in reports published by Millennium Research Group include clinical information systems, electronic medical records, picture archiving and communication systems, and surgical navigation systems.
Clinicians rely on
patient monitoring to signal rapid changes in patient condition so they can respond quickly to complications, and promote patient recovery. Patient monitors can detect, measure, and report vital signs as well as respiratory, hemodynamic, and neurological function. While vital signs monitors have been used for decades in critical and intensive care, technological advancements to allow less invasive monitoring techniques, a growing high-acuity patient population, and the downloading of monitors onto general medical-surgical wards will continue to propel the market for
patient monitoring devices.
